I think that's what is generally meant by 'worn king pins'.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

In The Olden Days, when cars used to have "Austin", "Morris" etc. on the back, worn kingpins meant the steel kingpin itself had worn out, and had to be replaced, along with the phosphor bronze bushes in the hub, which then had to be reamed in situ.
(I probably still have a stepped reamer for doing A35/A40/Midget kingpin bushes somewhere....)
When we say "the kingpins have gone" we mean the roller bearings, the stub pins don't wear unless the bearings are completely seized and start to turn on the pin.
At least when the kingpins went on an A40 the suspension didn't collapse like the Morris Minor :ohmy:

When I were a lad, this would have been the Austin Champ Club
(You either had a Landrover or a Champ, there were a few others like Austin Gypsy, the LJ was still brand new- wish I had an LJ in the garage now
)
